The DriftwoodSpars

Louise Treseder has owned the free house at Trevaunance Cove since around 2007 — it was named Britain's Freehouse of the Year in 2011 under her — and the pub's own five-barrel brewery has worked across the road since 2000. The house strong ale, Alfie's Revenge, took CAMRA's Champion Winter Beer of Britain in 2012 and was still collecting in 2026: gold among the barley wines and third-best beer in the country overall at the Champions festival in Cambridge. The building — by the pub's own telling raised in the 1650s from salvaged shipwreck timbers, and read by CAMRA as a seventeenth-century mine warehouse and sail loft — takes its name from the great spars that hold it up. Fifteen en-suite bedrooms upstairs, a head brewer's bar below, and Trevaunance Cove at the door.
